About me

As a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Kinesiologist, I work with people who want to feel better, be better, and stay better. My clients don’t accept second best and want to feel on top form in both work and leisure activities. They are committed to understanding how nutrition can support them, and how their DNA influences their health.

I believe everyone deserves great health and as well as face-to-face and on-line consultations, I am a nutrition expert for BBC Radio, I have regular articles published in several magazines and newspapers, and I have a book on food intolerances (called “I Don’t Know What to Eat”) which is available on Amazon and on my website.

Take the first step towards a better you... book your complimentary 30 minute Discovery Consultation TODAY. Let's get to know each other: tell me about yourself - not just one symptom, but your lifestyle, your likes and dislikes, your goals and what is important to you, and how quickly you want things to change. I can dispel some of the well-being myths 'out there' that may be confusing you. Let's look at what may be happening inside your body, and what we can do about that so that you feel better. I offer a range of services and I'll explain how these fit your particular situation so that you have everything you need to be able to move forward. I'll also give you my Top Three Tips, tailored for you, to implement straight away so that from our very first meeting you are on the path to improved health.

In only 3 weeks, my embarrassing tummy symptoms have rapidly improved, to the extent that I haven't had a rush to the toilet or cramps at all. He can't believe it was all down to food. I'll continue the focus on my diet - because I know it works!

Helen actually listened to me - MW, Upper Westwood

"I have seen other nutritionists who have very set ideas & restricted my diet. This made me quite stressed as I like eating out & couldn’t find anything on a menu that I could eat ! Helen has a completely different approach, she actually listened & offered solutions which really related to my needs & were sensible. My condition is much improved after only 3 sessions. Helen is very approachable & easy to get on with, highly recommended"

"I wanted to lose weight so did Helen's course. It was so interesting and I learned so much about how your body works with the right foods. I am loving the new way of eating. It’s like nothing I’ve done before and I am losing weight steadily without even trying. I feel fantastic and I can’t wait to do the other courses she has to offer. Helen is so knowledgeable and engaging and you can tell she truly loves what she does. She’s an inspiration and I would highly recommend her to anyone."

I now understand how to manage my diet and wellbeing in a way that works - KH, Bristol

"I was unsure what nutritional therapy would do for me and initially was sceptical. I began to improve and am now able to track the link between foods and symptoms. Helen has helped me to understand how I can manage my diet and well-being in a way that works."

I now feel less overwhelmed and can cope – LH, Lyneham

"I feel better all over, mentally fitter, and physically slimmer. I feel less overwhelmed and have a sense of being able to cope. I'm looking forward to continuing my work with Helen - my physical ailments are better, feel more manageable."

Helen has helped things improve greatly - WE, Chippenham

"After 18 months of unpleasant symptoms (partly caused by medication) and constantly needing to be aware of where the nearest toilet might be, Helen has helped things improve greatly. I feel I am now well on the way to regaining my previous health. I strongly recommend Oakmead clinic."

Helen’s consultation blew me away - SJS, Birmingham

"Helen’s consultation blew me away. The thoughtfulness and care not to mention the many resources that Helen gave me were priceless. I had failed to notice my own health but thanks to Helen I am now back on track. I’m very grateful to have met her."

Helen’s questions got to the heart of the matter and stimulated my thinking - IH, Leek

"I was coached by Helen and liked her approach which was friendly and personable, yet very effective. Helen’s questions got to the heart of the matter and stimulated my thinking. I always left the sessions with a clear mind and a focused target of what I needed to do next."

I am now much more aware of my food choices - KS, Bath

"I am now much more aware of my food choices for myself and my family. During my weekly shopping trips, you are never far from my thoughts."

I feel better than I have in 5 years - NB, Corsham

"I had a taster consultation and the advice that Helen gave me prompted me to sign up for her weight loss course. I saw immediate results and felt better than I had in 5 years. Helen is knowledgeable and has inspired and steered me to lose weight and eat healthily."

* If you have been diagnosed or suspect you may have one of the medical conditions starred above, you should consult your GP
for advice, diagnosis and treatment and always inform your health professional before starting any alternative or additional therapies,
treatments or making any major changes in your diet or exercise programme.

Nutritionor Kinesiology packages start from £275. Each package provides the following as standard:

A full review of your medical history, looking for the root causes of your symptoms and anything in your lifestyle that is perpetuating them

A 3-day Food Diary review of your meals, snacks and drinks (yes, drinks too!). Food and drink is often something we ‘do unconsciously’ and sometimes this is as enlightening for you as it is for me. Don’t be tempted to show me what you think I want to see – The best way to work out how to help you is to know where we’re starting, and that requires honesty

Understanding your goals – what’s really bothering you and what change do you want to see?

Negotiation of the degree of change required. Some clients want “as good as it can get, optimal health”. Some clients just want to stop the pain. Some clients start by talking about the amount of weight they want to lose but continue by talking about how much better they feel

Understanding the ‘no-go’ areas. Most people have these. There would be no point giving you wonderful recipes that require a lot of time in the kitchen if you hate cooking. We may have some interesting conversations about the amount of alcohol or caffeine or sugar, but my recommendations must be achievable by you

My top package also includes a DNA Test - very useful for both chronic conditions and weight loss as many issues in your genes can be overcome with food
